UPDATE: Palin To Resign As Alaska Governor UPDATE: KTUU-TV in Anchorage reports that Palin not only won't seek re-election, but will resign later this month.
ORIGINAL POST: Gov. Sarah Palin (R) has announced she will not run for re-election in 2010, CNN reports. She's scheduled to make an announcement shortly.
The decision frees Palin to travel in the Lower 48 as she considers a potential run for president in 2012. A re-election campaign could also have been tough on the former vice presidential nominee; her approval rating has dropped from stratospheric highs, and a number of candidates in both parties are said to be considering runs.
Even if she won, the race would have been dominated by the specter of a presidential bid, giving her adversaries an opportunity to wound her politically. She's still fending off ethics complaints, many spurred by the "Troopergate" scandal.

Nope, according to her twiiter, the decision behind leaving the job ‘is good’.
Larry Sobato on FoxNews is saying she is pulling a “Ross Perot”
I have met Larry quite a few times (being a Virginian and all). The guy is generally on the money
Yes, she made a decision, we don’t know the ‘why’s’ yet.
I always enjoyed listening to Lynne forester when she was on FOX during the election
No way
I understand. He actually said, “American’s don’t believe she has enough experience to be president.”
Umm...wasn’t someone just elected to president who has 18 mos. of voting present as a US senator??
[Pray for America and Gov Palin]
For sure!
I think Greta’s husband, and that Rothschild woman who supported Hillary are a part of this too.
You didn’t listen to Meg Stapelton, Palin’s spokesperson.
She is staying in the fight but moving to a different court.
the pundits are or so wrong, hard to believe how wrong they are. All you have to do is listen to Sarah and take her at her word and you know exactly what and why she is doing. Go Sarah!
God, let's hope not!
Their only weakness is in going too far (see: Wellstone memorial).
Hell hath no fury like a PUMA scorned.
There is no doubt the gloves have come off and the gauntlet has been thrown. Sarah going after both sides will leave nothing but scorched earth in her path. I can’t wait to see the aftermath!
Umm...wasn’t someone just elected to president who has 18 mos. of voting present as a US senator??"
The very fact that Obozo was elected with no experience & the history of his background being hidden to this day, will be the very thing that will propel Sarah to higher office.
They have no legitimate arguement against her. She's been an open book & Conservatives like what they saw!!
Yeah.

yes, I don’t doubt Greta will have Sarah on her program
Nope, not buying that, she is not running for higher office, she will be campaigning for conservative government, not higher office. The decision to run for president is still two years away. She is not quiting she is preparing to take the fight to the enemy. At least that is my take.
I find it very interesting she mentioned visiting the troops as part of the decision to resign.
You still didn’t answer the question. “Who are you FOR?”
